You're going to have to find a host that will let you upload the movie to their server. The gallery software here is not setup to handle movies very well. There are several websites that offer free pic/video hosting. I've never used any of them so I can't give you any recommendations, but I know several people here have used some. Perhaps they'll speak up...

Once you upload the movie all you need to do is post the link in a message so that we can see it.

It's not that the gallery software can't handle movies; I've just opted to not allow them. They take up a lot of disk space and more importantly use a lot of bandwidth when many people download them...

I did say that it wasn't setup to handle them, I just didn't specify why... ;)

Thanks for clarifying for me.

so I can't do it? I'm still unsure, sounds like a lot of work though.

You can definitely share a video with us, you just can't use the forum to hold your file. You need to use a website like that one Austin or salida posted a link for. Its really not hard at all.

I recommend going to putfile.com that Austin linked to. Then register for free and upload your file to their server. Once its uploaded all you need to do it get the URL of your file (ie, http://www.putfile.com/your directory/your movie.mov) and post it here.
